When will we wake up? We’re learning that German newspapers smothered news accounts of a widespread, planned attack by mobs (estimated to be around 1,000) of Muslim men on New Year’s Eve in Cologne, Germany. Over 100 women reported assaults that night.

So where are all the children & families?

But what we’re not being told is the rising rape of female taxi passengers in New York City. (Hat-tip Shoebat.com). It is thought that 50-90% of NYC cab drivers are from South Asian or Middle Eastern countries, the majority of whom are Muslims.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton is warning Big Apple women to think twice about late-night taxi rides as sexual assault by NYC cabbies is on the rise. Since most NYC residents don’t have cars and rely solely on taxis this is a problem. And as usual the onus is on the victim: travel in pairs, don’t use taxis at night, be careful coming out of clubs intoxicated, etc. No doubt the next bit of progressive advice will be not to dress provocatively. In other words don’t be asking for it.

NYC woman asking to be raped

Islam teaches that women, unless hidden under a tent and accompanied by a male relative are theirs for the taking. We have to adapt to their culture. Ha! Won’t happen here, baby.

I suggest that women arm themselves however they can. Concealed carry would be my first choice, but New York does not make it easy. There’s pepper spray, mace or even bear repellent. Carry and keep handy small sharp objects that can be used in self-defense.

This says it all -in the first person. Her parents were murdered in Luby’s Cafe in Texas before her eyes. Her licensed gun was in her car because at the time concealed carry was illegal in Texas so she had taken it out of her purse and consequently watched her mother and father gunned down along with 23 pother people that day.

Suzanne went on to serve in the Texas legislature from 1996-2006 and helped changed the concealed carry law allowing people to carry weapons and protect themselves.

Hawaii’s Right to Carry law is ludicrous in it’s obvious absurdity. Its justification and ultimate approval is left entirely to the Chief of Police of the respective counties and according to NRA’s gun laws by State,

“We have been advised that the County Police Departments (of the State of Hawaii) will not approve a Concealed Carry license for any reason.“

Right to Carry, or CCW (carrying a concealed weapon), as it is known in gun rights parlance refers to the practice of carrying a handgun or other weapon in public in a concealed manner, either on one’s person or in close proximity.

Forty-nine states allow citizens to carry concealed weapons, Illinois being the only exception. Illinois has until May 2013 to draft a CCW law after its ban on carrying concealed weapons was overturned in December by a federal appeals court and declared unconstitutional. The judge in that case wrote in the majority opinion:

“The Supreme Court has decided that the 2nd Amendment confers a right to bear arms for self-defense, which is as important outside the home as inside.”

Illinois’ ban was overturned with the help of the Second Amendment Foundation and 2 individuals who filed suit. Sounds like there needs to be a test cast against Hawaii’s virtual ban on Concealed Carry.

The New Black Panther Party of voter intimidation fame, you know that friendly group Eric Holder, Dept. of Justice head loves so much, or that at a minimum refuses to prosecute. Well, here’s what the NBPP is up to now.

New Black Panther Party calling for the death of George Zimmerman

What say Mr. Fast & Furious now?

No question, the killing of Trayvon Martin is a tragedy, and Mr. Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed this teenager must answer for his actions, but does this really help the dialogue? Will President Obama condemn this fueling the fire since he has already chimed in? Will the media condemn the NBPP for this hate speech and overt racism?

Don’t hold your breath.

Why this blog?

I can't stand it anymore! What is becoming of our country, our basic liberties?

After two careers (18 yrs as a dental hygienist, then 20 as a Realtor) I have to stand up and try to effect some change. I want to make it easier for you to do the same. We have to Get Off Our Butts and spread the word. There are more of us than they think, but we have to make ourselves known before it's too late.
